What is this?

Traffic may no longer be an issue for pizza shops trying to get slices to customers in 30 minutes or less. A pizza chain in Mumbai, India is showing off its plans for drone delivery service.

While Mumbai streets are clogged with cars, motorbikes and auto-rickshaws, a pizza order could one day avoid all that by whizzing overhead attached to a remote-controlled, GPS-enabled drone.

Francesco’s Pizzeria posted a video of a May 11 trial run on YouTube: the video now has more than 530,000 views.

The custom-made drone, equipped with four rotors, carried the 13-inch pizza — a plain margherita according to the Times of India –at a speed of 30 km/h to its destination less than 3 kilometres away, setting it down on the roof of a 21-storey building in Mumbai’s Worli district.

“The delivery system now involves motorcycles, fuel costs, and salary for the delivery boys who often miss deadlines to deliver,” Rajani told the British newspaper. Although he told NDTV it would cost about US $2,000 per drone.

The drones won’t be able to travel great distances: the batteries die after travelling about 8 kilometres, Rajani explained to NDTV last week.

He also said the drones with eight rotors would be able to carry up to eight kilograms.
